Ski de fond : Sweden Wins Women's Relay in Oberhof

As expected, the Swedish team led by Frida Karlsson secured the title on Sunday at the women’s relay of the World Cup in Oberhof, finishing ahead of Germany and Finland.

With an impressive lineup featuring Linn Svahn, Ebba Andersson, and another top sprinter, Jonna Sundling, the Swedish squad proved too strong for the competition. Notably, Frida Karlsson had also excelled in the 20 km mass start classic the previous day.

Meanwhile, the French team, without Delphine Claudel, struggled and ultimately finished eighth, 5 minutes and 22.5 seconds behind the winners.
